14. Mattheus was asked by his science teacher on how to measure the lines of latitude. He answered to
always begin at the poles. Is he correct about his answer?

A. Yes, because it represents 0 degrees.

B. Yes, because it represents 90 degrees.
C. No, because it must begin at the equator.
D. No, because it must begin in the tropic of cancer.

15. In a report presented by Ethan, he explained that the Philippines experiences a tropical climate for it is
just nearly above the equator. Do you think Ethan is correct about his explanation?

A. Yes, because the closer the area to the equator, the warmer the climate.
B. Yes, because the farther the area from the equator, the warmer the climate.
C. No, because areas that are closer to the equator will experience colder climate.
D. No, because areas that are nearly above the equator will experience the four seasons.

16. Which of the following describes latitude?

17.The latitude of an area greatly affects its climate. Which of the following describes the relationship
between latitude and climate?

I. The closer the latitude to the poles, the hotter the climate.
II. The closer the latitude to the poles, the colder the climate.
